Something new this year is this Euclid earth mover. Cables lift the blade rather than hydraulics.

The Armington Electric Hoist Company, begun in 1907 by George Armington, was renamed the Euclid Crane and Hoist Company when manufacturing operations were moved to a factory in Euclid, Ohio. The company became a division of General Motors in 1954.
The earthmovers below are somewhat smaller than the Euclid.

David Bradley made walk-behind garden tractors with the one exception, this TriTrac riding tractor powered by 6 HP Wisconsin engine.

Here are some restored stationary engines; two Listers to the right and an upright Fairbanks Morse to the left.

This single cylinder 15hp Ruston Hornsby Engine appears as it would have when it was working, unrestored and, some would say, more authentic. Tony Rubik helped move this engine from Bill Smith's farm in Saskatchewan in 1997.

Here a gasoline powered dragsaw cuts through a log.

There were some fine tractors there, including this John Deere 1010.

The Waterloo Bronco (left) was manufactured in Waterloo, Ontario. The Allis Chalmers Model G (right)is unusual in that implements mount under the center of the tractor rather than being drawn behind it. Both tractors are owned by George Frieser of Edmonton.

The Wallis tractor (left), is quite rare, at least in Western Canada.When Hart-Parr merged with several other companies to form Oliver Farm Equipment in 1929, the name Oliver was added to the Hart Parr tractors already in production, resulting in 'Oliver Hart-Parr' tractor (below left).Ford tractors (below) have always been favourites of Lorne's!

It seems there are always projects out in the long grass waiting for restoration. This one is a Bellis and Morcom steam powered generator. Perhaps next year ...
